Powerful and Effective Communication Skills

2 day course

Of all the challenges presented to managers in their efforts to achieve personal and organisational goals, the most critical is the ability to communicate powerfully and effectively with colleagues. This programme is intended to help all managers in this crucial area. Both experienced and newer managers will be able to identify and develop existing skills, and will be shown effective ways of tackling key issues with confidence.

Valerie’s long experience as a manager, both with organisations and in running her own company, has given her much practical insight. She has a passionate interest in empowering managers to develop high-level interpersonal skills. Her courses are stimulating, challenging, eye-opening and very enjoyable.

Managers will leave the programme with a higher awareness of their own strengths and development areas in communicating with others, and with practical ideas to raise their levels of effectiveness to meet the challenges presented in today’s workplace.
